The Rays starter took a four-run lead into the seventh, when he walked Carlos Quentin to start the Padres' rally. After Guzman's slam, Quentin walked again in the same inning, this time with the bases loaded against Jamey Wright to force in the lead run that made it 7-6.

Hellickson pitched 6 2-3 innings, giving up six earned runs on six hits while striking out eight.

"Tremendous comeback by our guys," Black said. "The bullpen did a good job. We fell one pitch short in the end."
